Men's Skis

Your ski size is largely determined by both your skiing ability and your preffered style of skiing. For example, an expert skier in Vermont will ski a far different ski than an expert in British Columbia. So take a look at our chart and explanations and find your perfect fit. Your weight also plays a large factor in finding the right ski. If you are either under or over average weight for your height consider downsizing or upsizing, respectively.

Description

Built for long, steep, techy, and powdery adventures.

More interested in having one ski for all your touring adventures than packing a whole quiver every time you hit the road? La Sportiva's GT Alpine Touring Ski's your horse, with a mid-fat waist, plenty of traditional camber, and a lightweight design that's as capable of climbing big peaks as it is spinning yo-yo laps off the backside of the resort. Camber gives you tons of grip on hard and variable snow, while the softer tip smooths out rough and deep snow and the flat tail gives you plenty of stability and control when falling would be a bad idea (it also makes it easy to plunge your skis into the snow and isolate blocks when you're conducting stability tests). La Sportiva's Fusion ABS sidewalls and a good degree of stiffness to the Light Karuba paulownia wood core, and multiple layers of fiberglass and carbon fiber mean you can push the GT's speed limit without feeling like it'll fold up on you.

There are tons of smaller but still important touches, too, like a fast and durable P-Tex 2000 sintered base, 1.8mm steel edges, and rubber tip and tail reinforcements that provide a damper, smoother ride. La Sportiva also threw a plate under the binding mount zone for bomber retention, and made sure the GT was compatible with its pre-cut HiGlide skins. It's not the lightest, fattest, or burliest ski on the market, but the GT will handle everything you throw it at, making it the perfect ski for all-around backcountry use.
